Lead 2008 is for students who are in leadership roles today.  Whether you’re the manager of a business, the president of an organization, or a community activist-all of these roles involve the same challenges.

Participants in the 2008 LEAD conference will be offered a unique opportunity to learn about their own leadership styles and will be given the tools needed to become effective leaders.  Attendees will also have the opportunity to network with both leaders around Northwest Indiana and specifically those from the seven surrounding university communities

Students will come away from the conference empowered, re-energized, and able to identify new opportunities for leadership.

This event is scheduled for March 28th at Ivy Tech Community College in Valparaiso.  It is an all day event.  There is a $25 registration fee that will be reimbursed after attendance.  Transportation will be provided by Student Activities.  Please call  Student Development and Outreach or the Office of Career Services at 989-2601 for more  information.
